**Awesome! Make sure you don't go too crazy, though it might be too late! :P Take care of yourself, so we get to see you skate for a long, long, long time to come!

Speaking of which.......did you get any of this on film?

Cheers!

: Well, after spending about 4 hours on the vert ramp today I was finally able to re learn my layback airs. I must have bailed about 15 times before I made my first one. I continued to do at least ten more and they felt exactly the same as the old days. In the last week I have gotten back my footplants and layback airs on vert. A typical run used to be a layback air, then footplant and then back flip. Today I tried two back flips, which were pretty good, but I landed too low. Unfortunately, I hurt my shoulder pretty badly on my last fall. Right now my back is starting to hurt real bad so I will have to see what the damage is in a few days.

 Wow Robert! Awesome!! But I think you got over zealous. I seriously hope you are OK. I've learned dont push it, just a touch at a time. Dont follow my footsteps of thinking I can just go for it lol. Laybacks were an incredible progress. Check with the Dr, dont want you laid up on the sidelines .

 Good to hear of your progress. It's great to be able to do some tricks. I've been rolling around last week, too, but no tricks so far.
